In the history of cinema, Richard Boleslawski is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Richard Boleslawski as Polish theatre and film director, actor (1889–1937).
Richard Boleslawski was born at Mohyliv-Podilskyi in 1889. His recorded nationality is Poland.
This was the silent era, when film was still proving it could carry a story at all and performers had to do it without a spoken word.
He worked as film director, actor and film actor.
Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.
That the work was made from Poland shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Richard Boleslawski died in 1937, aged 48. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
